I have always used Meguiars 1-2-3 step products (often leaving out step one due to how hard it is to buff off, not to mention it never has seemed to work aswell on clearcoat as it does on non-clearcoat.) I've seen a lot of comments on Zaino Bros. products aswell as Zymol products. Has anyone out there used one or more of these products and recommend one over another?

thanks in advance guys

 

Chris, Over the years I have used all 3 brands you listed. I started using Zaino about 1 1/2 years ago and I like it the best. On my last car I used Zaino since it was new and it had amazing depth and shine. Here's my $0.02 worth on the other 2.

Zymol- Good polish. Hard to remove once dry. Fairly durable and long lasting.

Meguiars- Polish works good on dark colors. Hard to remove and streaky. Protection seems very short lived.

Here are a couple shots of my last car that I used Zaino on

Check this comparison of Zaino/Zymol /Meguiars done by a guy on the NSX forums. A relatively objective test that I found it to be very interesting but, as a Zaino user, not surprising.

What I found to more interesting is the link to the forum thread towards the end discussing the results of his test.

 

Here are some pics of my truck with Zymol and I think its pretty damn shnazzy.









Also keep in mind I am a ranch boy from the boonies, and this is a 98 truck I have had for 3 years now, now dont tell me thats a kick@$$ shine we got going on there.
